Meanwhile, in the life of Franz von Lenbach
The whole life1890s
Painting almost entirely from photographs

1895
Scandal over an assistant
In 1895 a major scandal erupts: one of his assistants took unfinished paintings and sketches, had students fill in the details and passed them off as Lenbach's work.
1896
Divorce and second marriage
Lenbach and Magdalena divorce over suspicions of infidelity with her doctor, Ernst Schweninger, whom she did in fact later marry; Lenbach remarries, to Charlotte von Hornstein, daughter of the composer Robert von Hornstein.
